AMERICA is an American folk rock band formed in London in 1970 which originally consisted of Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, and Dan Peek.

The three members were barely out of their teens (Beckley and Bunnell born in 1952) when they became a musical sensation in 1972 winning a Grammy for best new musical artist.

Some of their best known songs are "A Horse with No Name", "Sister Golden Hair" (both of which reached No. 1), "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man", "Daisy Jane", and "Lonely People".

Peek left the group in 1977 to pursue a solo career; Beckley and Bunnell returned to the top 10 as a duo with "You Can Do Magic" in 1982. On January 16, 2007, AMERICA released Here & Now, the band's first major label studio album in over 20 years. (*)

AMERICA is performing over 180 shows per year all around the country and around the world as well.

In August AMERICA is on a European tour. They will perform three shows in France - Paris, Nice and Crozon. The group will also perform shows in Italy and Israel.
